Dortmund 6G Workshop Brings Together International Experts in Security, Privacy, and Resilience

On 14 and 15 July 2026, TU Dortmund University hosted the "Dortmund 6G Security, Privacy, and Resilience Workshop" on its campus. The event was organized by Prof. Dr.-Ing. Onur Günlü, Head of the Institute of Communications Engineering, within Working Group 2, "Intelligent and Resilient Systems," of the European COST Action 6G-PHYSEC.
The two-day workshop brought together researchers from leading European universities and industry experts, including representatives from Deutsche Telekom/T-Labs and Nokia. Scientific presentations and in-depth mini-tutorials explored key challenges facing future wireless networks: physical-layer security, privacy in integrated sensing and communication, authentication, AI-enabled wireless security, quantum communications, and resilient networked robotic systems.
The scientific program was complemented by mobile 6G laboratory demonstrations developed within Germany's BMFTR 6GEM+ Transfer Hub. The demonstrations showed how theoretical concepts, signal processing, and experimental wireless systems come together in practice. For students and early-career researchers in particular, the workshop offered a first-hand look at current 6G research and its real-world applications.
The event strengthened links between international academia and industry while showcasing TU Dortmund University's research on secure, privacy-preserving, and resilient communication systems.
